I use Handcent and it has an option in Notifcation settings to "Show when locked". Turn this off and the pop ups won't display when the screen's locked. I didn't use the stock messaging app as I've always loved Handcent. If you choose to use handcent, disable notifications in the stock messaging program all together
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
yeah use a3rd party mms app, such as handcent where you have more options and control about how your phone notifies you.

I am using a custom rom, if I enable tethering or Mobile AP can AT&T detect that I am using it and force me into buying the data package that goes along with these services?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuitjerker:
I cant confirm it but, It seems to me a signifcant spike in data usage via tethering may cause question or ultimately everyone with a smartphone being locked into some bogus data plan scam in the future.
[Dell Streak 7] derv1sh:
I've got a Dell Streak 7 on t-mobile, rooted and started removing a bunch of things (before backing up because I'm an idiot, sure) which resulted in a system exception. Now when I boot it loads up to the t-mobile square but no further. I've tried a hard reset, which brings me back to the device setup but about 4 screens in I get another exception and cant go any further.

I had already rooted it, so adb and all that is installed. So far I've tried using flashboot, which doesn't move past the "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" bit so I've had no success trying to flash anything I can find.

My experience with android is fairly limited, I'm guessing I just need a fresh flash, any ideas? Help severely appreciated!
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Go into the dev section and look for the perf tweeks thread v.2 there is a stock system.img in there that you can flash via fastboot. Should square you away.

[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
And flashboot is run from your pc to your device. You use a cmd window to transfer stuff from your pc to your device. Google adb install and look 3 results down from the top and install sdk/ adb. Good luck

sent from my re-engineered dInc
[Dell Streak 7] derv1sh:
When I run fastboot via command line it doesn't see the device, and adb isn't showing up under devices, even though while I was rooting it, everything worked fine. Basically fastboot isn't bringing up all the devices I imagine it should which would enable the usb interface between the pc and the streak.

When I turn on fastboot on the streak it stays at "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" - I'm not sure if that screen should go any further.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
That screen does not go any further. Sounds like some drivers may not be installed.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Dell Streak 7] derv1sh:
After some driver fiddling, if I connect the streak and boot into fastboot mode the device manager sees the streak for maybe 5 seconds, and then shoots me a "Device cannot start".
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
when you plug your device into the pc in fastboot mode does it ask to install drivers? Or can you see the device in device manager on your pc? Should say android phone.

Sent from my Dell Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
and are you waiting to plug into the pc?

Sent from my Dell Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] derv1sh:
If I wait to plug it in after starting fastboot on the device, it typically isn't recognized at all. When it does recognize it, its recognized as an ADB device, and on occasion "fastboot". No matter what title it comes up as, it can't start, and I am using the absolute latest usb drivers.
[Dell Streak 7] Jersey Swags:
Did you get this fixed yet? I did the same thing.
[Dell Streak 7] derv1sh:
Nope, still stuck.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Have you got fastboot working? If so have you tryed pushing the stock system.img from the perfmod thread?

[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Go to device manager and update driver, select Install from a different location, then uncheck adroid device, and pick another, you should see 3, the drivers will install then run fasboot devices and if you see ? fastboot, your set.

1 right click my computer, select properties

2 right click on android devices (if its not there unplug usb and replug)

3 select update driver

4 Install from a list or specific location, next

5 select Dont search, next

6 uncheck Show compatible hardware and select alternate driver and install

4/7/11 UPDATE:

SOLD!

4/4/2011 UPDATE:

Well, eLocity informed me that they where having supply issues with getting displays. So they decided to send me a new unit from their stock as I have already been waiting over a month and a half. It shipped out Friday and should arrive soon.

I was thinking of keeping it but decided I'd be better off selling it and getting some cash. so if anyone that has already expressed interest still want it let me know.

A7 with original accessories (charger, headphones w/ mic) $210 shipped.

Thanks.....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, out of a job and need cash more than toys.

Have to sell my A7. It is currently running Dexters v1.3 ROM and come with a case (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895353).

I have a second A7 that is currently at eLocity to have the screen at sat on replaced. They say it should be four weeks. I may sell that one too once I get it back.

Anyone interested PM me.
[A7 General] Timmy2b's:
Dude, that sucks.

Good luck in the hunt.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:

If there is no interest I may list it on ebay tomorrow. I really rather not deal with ebay and some technically challanged buyer who won't know how to make the A7 work.
[A7 General] jtodaro:

[A7 General] crucesrev:
Interested. I am reading on this forum how many people are having problems wit the Dexter mod. How is yours running on this tablet?
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
I don't think there is a problem with the Dexter ROM. Dexter's ROM is the Official eLocity ROM with Market and Google Apps added. As far as I'm aware the issues are inherent to the official ROM.

The only issue I've seen in my use are:

1. with the current ROM, in setting it does not show the the MicroSD card as there. The card is there and can be used though. Pictures show up in the gallery and the MicroSD card can be navigated with a file explorer app (i use Astro).

2. Not 100% sure but think apps can't be run from the MicroSD card. Someone said they moved app to the SD card recently, but I haven't tried.

any specific problem your referring to?
[A7 General] crucesrev:
The issue with not reading the sd card, not being able to access to usb thumbdrives and numerous apps which will not install and run properly. I am a newb, BTW.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Like I pointed out above, when you go into the setting menu it doesn't show the SDcard as mounted in the latest firmware. But it is there and accessible. I put movies, pictures and music in mine and all are accessible.

I have no issues using USB drives. That's how I move the Update.zip file onto my internal SD card. I download it to my USB drive via my PC. Plug it into my A& then copy the Update.zip file to my internal storage from the USB drive using Astro file manager.

Yes, there are apps that won't work. AS there are app that won't work on my g tablet either. Not sure if it has to do with the apps not yet supporting the Tegra 2 processor or tablets or what. For example Google earth won't run on either my A7 or the viewsonic g tablet.

I guess it all depends on what the user wants the device to do. For me e-mail, Internet, Skype and google calendar are the main use. Don't really use my device for games (occasional Angry Birds or paper toss).

[A7 General] RojasTKD:
cbotd,

thanks for the indorsement.

An update for everyone. I was originally told to expect a 4 week turnaround from eLocity. My A7 has been there a little over two weeks now, but I don't have total faith that their "four weeks" will actually be four weeks.

I was told the Tech still had to look at it to see what else may have broken, even though I already told them it only the screen. I kooked it up to my TV via HDMI and it worked fine. Heck, I could see enough of the screen to flash it to the latest stock firmware before shipping it for repair.

I'm hopping to have it back between 2 and 4 weeks (with a little luck).

[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Hey

Im wondering if, because of the hinge, can I put the HTC Desire Z in front of me, while I look upwards at the ceiling with me seeing what on the screen...

A (bad :P ) drawing example is included.

Some sites say that it cant be done but they havent tried it as I havent read anything with personal expirence with this issue and this is pretty important to me. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] trsanning:
I guess i don't understand. Are you saying that some are saying you shouldn't do this for some reason?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
I am able to, but I know others who aren't.

it helps that when I hold my phone to type on the physical keyboard, my index fingers naturally wrap around the screen, which holds it in place... but even if I intentionally move my index fingers so that there is nothing hindering the screen from moving by itself, it does stay up. if I give the phone a slight wiggle, it will pop down though.

again, I believe with these phones it just varies from device to device... the hinge threads I've read have been all over the place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mbush78:
Ditto for me too.

It fine the week I got it but after a month of use it's loose and I also jsut hold it inplace
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
No, I ment some are saying you cant, some are saying you can, some dont say anything at all....

Thanks for the replies. I thought of 2 fixes/mods:

1: A thing magent

2: Tighten screws (if there are)

Feedback? I mean lying on my bed typing is problably something Im going to do alot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
In Bed

LOL, man! :D One of the funniest posts I have ever seen. Even with that drawing.

To answer, though, I hardly manage to type like this, because the device tends to close. You can hold it with your thumbs, though.

I love your drawing, buddy :D:D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
the accepted fix involves modifying the spring that opens/closes the hinge. there are several threads floating around with the process... note that it does void your warranty, however (you have to partially disassemble the phone). for me, the hinge hasn't been a huge nuisance anyway. yeah, it's loose... so what? you learn and adapt your "methods" to work around it as you use the phone. it has never caused a serious problem for me.

I would like to add that over time I have noticed it does loosen (noticably, but not so much that it has been a problem for me) more and more.. which makes sense because the spring is being compressed and relieved repeatedly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Obviously, your needs arent the same as mine. You say "so what?" if the screen closes and Id like it to stay open.

Could you please post some links to those threads? Id like to see if the process is difficult.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhilberg:
I rarely use the phone laying on my back, but when I do I move my hands a little bit higher on the keyboard and push my index fingers inwards toward each other slightly so that they are touching the device where the screen meets the keyboard. Holds it in place just fine, no need to modify the springs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
I think you misunderstood (I didn't word that very well - apologies). I'm not saying it's not an issue, it is an issue.

but, as I and a couple others have posted here, there is a remedy: positioning your index fingers such that they hold the screen if you are one of the unlucky ones who gets a hinge that is so sloppy that it falls at whim. on my G2, I don't even have to do this, but I do it naturally so it's added security that the screen isn't going to slam shut.

there's no such thing as a perfect phone. but as far as android phones with keyboards go, you're not going to do much better than the DZ/G2 at this point.. that is a fact. :)

here's a link to the best hinge fix thread I've gone through:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863919

if you search "hinge" in the main G2/DZ subforum, you'll get a plethora of thread matches.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Cant "Thanks" you as it says more than 5 per day arent allowed so....

Intresting. Looks a bit complicated though but I guess Ill have to do it if I want to use the phone correctly the way I wanted.

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Just as a update: I can use my phone perfectly without applying any fix about using it for about 3-4 months. There is no issue at all.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Hi everyone, I'm new to Android but would like to tinker around with my phone a bit. Hoping some of you guys can help "hold my hand" as I get into it..and perhaps just double-check my reasoning. I've been reading for around a month and there's useful threads, but with hundreds of posts, and then re-updated or conflicting info, it can be hard to keep it all straight.

Currently running 2.2 stock on Rogers, rooted and on 3e loader with build 10.10. I downloaded CWM but didn't have any luck re-installing the package to get into it (as a result of being 3e and requiring the signature check I think).

So I'm thinking I should get bay_wolf's AIO toolkit for the captivate..

And from there I can use odin3 (not the one click as that may brick my build number correct?) to manually select the correct .tar files to flash a new kernel. I do not have to flash back to 2.1 do I??

3 kernel choices..I think they all work with 2.2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967068 suckerpunch

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880 or speedmod (I'm leaning towards this guy).

I'd like to try flashing a custom rom ( but would be mostly happy with 2.2 and the lagfixes and other battery tweaks from any of the above kernels), but looks like I'm going to have issues since I have the 3e loader. I did see a kernel that reverts back to 2e signature fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804226 , but that would be at the expense of the lagfixes and other bonuses..

Or am I better off going straight to a Rom like cognition that has the lag fix built in? Would the procedure be to flash to flash the above 2e signature fix...then get CWM Rom manager working and install Cognition or Serenditiy or Paragon etc from there?

Thanks in advance, you guys are a great help!
[Xoom General] scizorownage:
Why is it when I say "listen to (artist)" it defaults to search youtube for (artist) and not playing it from my library?
[Xoom General] droidtacular:
It only searches for music using specific apps, like Pandora, Last.fm, etc. More info here:

google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Mobile/thread?tid=55fb6a373cd1ed60&hl=en

If they wanted to add music search on the device, then they would have to know what music is available on the device, and this is much harder than just taking whatever you said after the phrase "listen to" and plugging it into an online music app.
[Xoom General] scizorownage:
So since august they still haven't come out with an update to the stock music player to allow me to say "listen to mgmt" and mgmt starts playing from my music library?
[Xoom General] droidtacular:
Right, and I wouldn't hold my breath for this change either. All of Google's voice recognition is done on the cloud, which means that they either need to send all of your music info up to the cloud in order to recognize your specific songs, artists, etc, which they could do, or they need to change strategies and work on an embedded recognizer to handle this all on the device (so they wouldn't need to send your music info to the cloud), which I'd bet they won't do.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
I disagree they could do a text search of what they thought you said versus your local audio collection based on artist/song title tag. So the could would still be used for speech recognition but the text search could be done on the phone.
[Xoom General] droidtacular:
You're right, and to be honest, I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't written an Android app to do this using Android's voice recognition API. The only issue would be that for some songs/artists it wouldn't work as well as it could if it had access to the actual song titles and artist names for the music that was available on the device, but it would probably work good enough for most people.

On a related note, you'll notice that Google's built-in Voice Actions does not allow you to call contacts that are only on the device: you can only call or send text or whatever using contacts that are in your gmail contact list. Again, this is because Google has your gmail contact list on their servers, and if they wanted to do contact name recognition well using contacts on the device, then they would need to use an embedded recognizer or send the contact list to the cloud. As you'll notice, this is kind of a fundamental issue that pops up again and again when doing voice recognition in the cloud vs on the device.

[Atrix 4G General] markpv:
Still leaning towards Handcent SMS. Anyone with the problem running the fingerprint recognition, wondering if that may be affecting it also?
[Atrix 4G General] markpv:
Looks like Handcent was causing my issue at this time. To fix you go into Hancent settings - notifications - popup settings - uncheck Screen on for popup. Will report back if I find out another app is causing same problem.

I used to run custom ROM serendipity 5.11. Decided to give the official stock froyo a try. So, I flashed it to JF6 and installed I897UCKB1 on my captivate.

[Captivate General] rajendra82:
The assistance was in the post right above your own.

The reason the old update.zip method does not work is because Froyo uses 3e recovery, which requires the update.zip files to be signed. The SuperOneClick root bypasses that and directly gives you root. After this you can install CWM, and flash the supercurio voodoo kernel, which gets you the lagfix, and rids you of 3e recovery, all at the same time.
